LONDON: Top Israeli officials and public figures have threatened the government with legal action over its support for “Jewish terrorism” and an “ideology of ethnic cleansing,” The Guardian reported on Wednesday.
It came in a leaked letter — seen by The Guardian — signed by two former prime ministers, former security chiefs and judges, a Nobel laureate and Israel’s most famous living novelist.
They delivered a “final warning” to the government over violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, demanding immediate action to “eradicate Jewish terrorism,” citing years of murder, rape, theft, arson and desecration of the dead.
The attacks are carried out by civilian and military perpetrators who act with “almost complete impunity,” the letter said.
“This letter is a wake-up call and a final warning: We demand that you take all necessary measures to immediately eradicate Jewish terrorism that has been prevalent in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) in recent years.”
